Mission Statement

Alpine Orthopaedics, Sports Performance & Regional Hand Center strives to provide excellence in comprehensive Orthopaedic care and sports medicine with knee, shoulder and hand specialists. We view the patient as a whole, focusing on their lifestyle, functional needs, and athletic interests. Although our physicians have extensive surgical experience, they believe in seeking the best options for each patient. Not all injuries require surgery; non-operative management through physical rehabilitation, exercise training, and nutrition can often alleviate the patient's problem. However, when surgery is indicated, our physicians feel two of the most important factors in surgical success are patient education and post-operative rehabilitation. We are responsible for seeing that our patients receive only the highest level of quality treatment for musculoskeletal injury and disease. This responsibility includes the understanding of all aspects of human performance, the application of techniques and procedures learned through sports medicine research, education and training focused on improving the patient's life.
